Sir David Jason will be broadcasting a BBC Radio 4 appeal for Home-Start

We are delighted that Sir David Jason will be broadcasting a BBC Radio 4 appeal for Home-Start in May. We are one of the 52 charities that have made it through the BBC’s rigorous selection process for an appeal in 2011. The first broadcast of Home-Start’s appeal will be on:Sunday May 8th at 7.55am and repeated at 9.26pm and again on Thursday 12th May at 3.27pm. BBC Radio 4, 92.4 – 94.6FM, or LW 198, or listen live/listen again on the Radio 4 website. David will talk about how Home-Start supports a grandfather who has taken on full care of his three young granddaughters because of his daughter’s drug and alcohol problems. Almost two million people listen to the BBC Radio 4 appeals and we are hoping to raise much needed funds for our work in supporting families. The funds raised will be shared between Home-Start UK and local Home-Starts across the country and will benefit children and families in need. We work with families who, for whatever reason, aren’t getting the help they need. Very often we’re the last chance they have. Listen to our appeal and pass this on to spread the word.
